“What!” I gasped, breathless, as if all the air in the room had disappeared. I didn’t understand. I didn’t understand one bit. How was it not from Laura? Dante had said she had planned the scandal, and she, or whoever sent the messages to me, said they also caused the scandal, so how could they not be the same person?

“How can that be? The sender confessed they planned the scandal, which you deduced was done by Laura. How could they not be the same person?” Dante frowned, voicing the question I was too shocked to ask.

“I’m not saying Laura isn’t involved or this isn’t part of her schemes, but someone else is sending these messages.” Caesar clarified.

“Couldn’t it be that one of her henchmen or minion is doing her dirty work?” I asked, searching for a reasonable explanation for what he had said. She was in a mafia group, right? And she seemed to be one of the top dogs there, so it was very possible that she would have henchmen, or minions, or underlings do her bindings, right?

    “Why not?” I snapped my head at Dante. Wasn’t he the same person who asked me to be his date at the same event? Why was there a sudden change in plans?“Because you just got shot yesterday, that’s why.” He frowned at me. “You can’t possibly be thinking about going out again in less than twenty-four hours.”He was making sense, and I agreed with him because a part of me thought it was a crazy idea. What happened yesterday was traumatic, and I definitely won’t be going to that mall because of it, but I really did want to attend the gala event. Ever since Dante asked me out, it was always on my mind. The more I thought about it, the more excited I became, and I was anxiously waiting for the day to come. Laura and her partner in crime weren’t going to ruin something I had anticipated with their assassination. I was going to woman up and enjoy myself at the gala—that was if my date still wanted to go.“I know, but ever since you told me about it, I’ve been dying to attend and see what a ga

    “They’re going to be fine, Olivia. I promise.” Dante’s arm slid around my waist, pulling me closer to his body, and I leaned my head against him. “And they wouldn’t be gone for long. Once Laura, her father, and whoever is troubling us are in jail, we’ll hop on the next flight and bring them home. I’ll announce to the whole world that you are my girlfriend. Our beautiful family will be complete, happy, and stronger than ever.” ‘Our family.’ My smile brightened at those wonderful words. Some months ago, I would have cringed at just the thought of being called a family with Dante, but at that moment, it was so right. Like it was always meant to be. “I love the sound of that.” I lifted my head and pressed a peck on his cheek. He grinned at me, cupping my face, and gave me a small, quick kiss on my lips. “It should be a crime for someone’s lips to be as addicting as yours.” He murmured and gave me another one, deeper and more sensual than the first. My body, as always, came alive at his

    ‘And there…. Done.’I capped my lipstick and slid it into my silver purse sitting on the vanity. The day of the gala had finally arrived, and I was giddy with excitement and nerves.‘You look pretty, Olly.’ I told myself as I stared at my beautiful reflection in the mirror, and I smiled.The pink dress dazzled like a diamond in the light, enough for me to stand out but not enough for me to draw people’s attention from the arts, and the colour complemented my skin perfectly. Dante was right; I did look good in pink.My wavy chestnut hair was let down and fell from my shoulders to my mid-back. A simple silver necklace with pink opal dangling from the middle was on my neck; its earrings were on my ears; and just as the store attendant had said, they made the dress more stunning. Coupled with my cute silver low heels and bag, I looked and felt like a princess.‘If Leon, Michael, and Nathan were here, they would have probably said something like, wow, Mama, you look like a princess, or a f

    Kian strode towards us, and I was reminded of the uncanny resemblances he and his sister shared. If he didn’t look older and had light auburn hair instead of bright red hair like hers, he and Eve would have passed off as twins.“It’s an absolute pleasure to meet you again.” He stopped in front of us and stretched out his hand towards me.“Nice to meet you again.” I said, putting my hand on his for a handshake. He took it and placed a small kiss on it.I almost rolled my eyes at the gesture, remembering another reason why he and Eve were different. They were both charming in their own ways, but whereas Eve was a ball of fluffy innocence and downright adorable, Kian was a smooth-tongued casanova.When Dante said he already had one playboy in his friend group and that was enough, I understood what he meant when I met Kian for the first time. Fortunately for me, the next time we met, he acted more gentlemanly and reduced his flirting. I suspected Dante had a little chat with him.Kian was

    Oh sheep! This was happening. I was standing before the father of the woman who wanted to ruin my life. Never had I thought I would run into him, but he was standing before me, right in the flesh. My eyes took a quick sweep of him, surprised by how he looked. He was nothing like I had pictured when he came to mind. I had always imagined a tall, broody, mafia-don-looking man; he was the opposite. He was a few inches shorter than me—and I was already short—with a bald head that the light bounced off. He had almost no similarities with his daughter apart from their eyes, and I almost doubted he was actually her father. Laura was a beauty queen, while he was just ordinary. “I’ve told you to call me father or papa instead of Mr. Kingsley. You almost got married to my daughter.” He gripped Dante’s hand and shook it so hard that I feared he was going to pop it. “But I didn’t marry your daughter, so I don’t have to call you that, Mr. Kingsley.” Dante put emphasis on his name, but the older

    “W-what do you mean?” The lady stuttered and took a step back. “Exactly. What do you mean, Dante?” I frowned, not understanding his animosity towards an innocent, frightened girl. “I mean exactly what I said, Olivia.” He replied, but his brutal gaze was still on her. “Who sent you to give her this drink?” “It’s her job, Dante. She said I was picked to try a new brand of champagne, just like some of the other guests. Nothing else.” I explained to him, hoping it would calm him down and maybe he would also help her. “And you need to hear what she said about her boss. I think he’s treating his staff inhumanely.” “I heard a good amount of what she told you, but you see, Olivia, the story she was spewing is a complete lie. There’s nothing like a sample test of a new brand of champagne going on at this event, nor is her boss as wicked as she paints him. And if everything she says is a lie, then why exactly is she trying to make you take the drink? Unless…” Dante sneered at her, and I gas

I might even still be sleeping, and my overthinking, worried brain came up with this wacko dream. Wake up, Olly.

    ‘Mum, Dad, I did it. I made our dream come true.’ I smiled as I sat at my table; my gaze swept through the room and pride washed over me. I finally did it; I finally realised my parents’ and my dreams. I opened my own restaurant. Regal Haven was having her grand opening ceremony, and from the look on everyone’s face, they were enjoying the party. Soft, classy music on the piano and harp strummed through the air, giving the room not only a sophisticated aura but also setting a relaxing mood. It went perfectly well with the theme of the restaurant: Victorian-era style with a modern twist, made to feel elegant but not too stuffy and up tight. The reviews of the foods I had gotten from a few of the guests I had talked to as I strolled around was all praise about how wonderful they were. I knew a minority view wouldn’t match against the populace, but from how hearty and chatty everyone else was, it was safe to conclude they thought so too. Regal Haven was having the most perfect openi

    My eyes flickered open, squinting at the sudden change from darkness to white light. The smell of antiseptics and other irritating chemicals hit my nose, and I scrunched my face. It was a dead give away that I was in the hospital. That, and the vital sign monitor and drip I saw from the corner of my gaze connected to my wrist. A dull ache trembled through my body, not unbearable but still uncomfortable to deal with, but hey, I was alive. ‘What happened? The last thing I remember was Alice pointing a gun at Dante, me jumping to save him, then a sharp pain and darkness… Wait, was I shot?’ I slowly lifted my hand, which felt like it weighed a lot more than it was supposed to and slid it under the cosy duvet I was covered with. It ran across my side, where I felt a little bit of pain and discomfort. Through the light fabric of my hospital dress, my fingers glided against the bandage, and I hissed at the sharp sting that jolted through me. Yup, I was shot. Alice had tried to kill Dant

    “So, I changed my approach. I played the role of a sweet, supportive best friend, no matter how disgusted I was about it, and I wormed my way into your parents’ hearts. They were jolly fools like you, and they accepted me into their open arms. For years, I kept my façade perfectly, though I caused little issue on the side—not much to make you suspect me but enough to trouble you. I’m sure you remember some of them. Those mean letters you found in your locker. Messing up your science projects and homework… Ah, good old days.” Alice sighed; a small, soft smile was on her lips, and her eyes had a faraway look, like she was reminiscing about happy memories. I glared at her, utterly disgusted. They were definitely not good times for me. Those letters said really hurtful things, like body-shaming me about my height, my acne, and how dumb I was. I was depressed about that thing and felt worse that the culprit always found a way to not be caught. Who knew she was sitting down by my side, supp

    “What!” The word fell from my mouth as a breathless whisper, and my brows furrowed. I would have thought she was joking if anger and malice weren’t burning in her eyes.“Don’t act like you don’t know what I’m talking about, you bi.tch.” Alice snarled, tightening the grip on my hair, and I yelped.“But… I… I don’t…” I winced at the searing pain running through my scalp.I honestly didn’t know what she was talking about. When did I ever have everything she wanted? Never; that was when. The conversation was supposed to be the other way around. I was the one who was supposed to be jealous that she had everything I ever wanted because she did. All the times I had known her, she had always had better, nicer stuff than me.Her parents weren’t super rich, but they had a lot more money than mine. She could afford nice clothes, and shoes, and literally anything she wanted that was considered a luxury for me. She was prettier than me; ten guys would have looked her way in admiration before one e
